Bellevue — Ch. 8 Buildings, Housing, and Construction § 8-57
Filing
Operative Text
All applications and a copy of all permits issued shall be systematically filed and kept by the village.
Section 8-57 of Bellevue's Buildings, Housing, and Construction code establishes a recordkeeping requirement for the village itself. All applications submitted and copies of permits issued must be organized and retained by the village in a systematic manner. This rule governs how the local government maintains its own official records related to building and construction activity.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 8-57, the village is responsible for maintaining a systematic file of all permit applications and issued permits, which means property owners and managers can generally expect that records of their submitted applications and received permits are retained by the village. Compliant operators typically keep their own copies of submitted applications and issued permits as a best practice, since the village's filing system serves as the official record. Having personal copies can be useful when referencing past permits for future projects or inspections.
